BUDG, CONT European Parliament
06:52 - 08:43
Speaker 2
Good morning everybody, let's start our meeting. Welcome to today's BUDG-CONT meeting, which I have the pleasure to chair with Miss Hohlmeier, who will be with us within a few minutes. Today's meeting will be dedicated to the consideration of amendments on the performance framework regulation, a regulation that addresses monitoring and reporting on the performance of the post-2027 MFF multiannual financial framework. Given their respective competences for the Union budget and the discharge, the BUDG and CONT committees co-lead the negotiations on this file. BUDG-CONT members have tabled more than 1300 amendments to the Commission proposal, including over 300 amendments on the intervention fields and indicators in Annex 1.
Ten other committees have already delivered their opinions on the Commission proposal, and the rapporteurs from the opinion-giving committees have been invited to today's meeting. The choreography of today's meeting will be as follows. We start with, of course, the co-rapporteurs, Mr Germain and Mr Herbst. Subsequently, we will pass the floor to BUDG and CONT shadows by political groups for 4 minutes each. And in the third round, we will hear from the rapporteurs for opinion for 2 minutes each.
So, let's immediately start, and I pass the floor to Monsieur Germain, please.
08:43 - 09:31
Speaker 3
Thank you, Chair. I am going to be quite brief because I think that the idea of this committee meeting is to hear the colleagues on their amendments and their key priorities. So, first, I want to thank for the huge efforts with those amendments to improve the text that we co-tabled with Niclas Herbst. I shall also say that, as I said before, we want to enlarge the agreement between EPP and S&D to at least enough groups enabling the text to be voted. And I'm speaking first of the platform that supported the interim MFF report.
